New World: Rise of the Angry Earth Review (DJMB)
what a mess. imagine launching the first major expansion for a game that sold almost a million copies on launch with extremely limited player counts per server and not spinning up new servers until players got stuck in 3k+ person queues and then when you do finally launch new servers hours after the expansion goes live you charge players to transfer and offer no way to transfer without waiting hours in a queue to get in the game to do so. Imagine partnering with some of the biggest names on twitch and not anticipating a large influx of new and returning players. On launch day there were 3x more people watching the game on twitch than could even fit on all the currently active servers. The server queues and extremely buggy experience of this expansion killed all motivation to continue trying to give this game a chance.
Buyer beware, the expansion is non-refundable, would refund if I could.
